Lady Gaga Embraces Family in Super Bowl Halftime Show Behind the Scenes Photos

If Lady Gaga's incredible, stunning, and gravity-defying Super Bowl performance on Sunday left you in tears, you're not the only one.

Thanks to some new backstage photos from the night's extravaganza, we know that Gaga broke into tears when she exited the stage — and her supportive family was waiting in the wings. The moment was extra significant, because the singer took a few precious seconds of her stage time to give her family a shoutout during the halftime performance.

(Not only was Gaga's family present for her incredible show, but her former fiancé Taylor Kinney was spotted cheering her on in the audience.)

"I'm just happy to make my parents proud," Gaga told Inside Edition after the show. And that she did, as Inside Edition also reports that Cynthia Germanotta said she was "so proud!" Gaga's father Joe Germanotta added that he "thought it was fabulous."

For further proof of the Germanotta family sweetness, here is a photo of Gaga hugging her sister Natali after her 13-minute solo set. She also seemed super emotional when greeting her parents after her performance. The family also got to spend time together before Gaga hit the stage, as evidenced by the sweet moment Gaga shared with her dad (whose leather jacket goes nicely with Gaga's Versace leotard). #FamilyGoals, anyone?
